HELP!!!
John Swift:
Hi John
I agree cut the legs off first , but on these boards the lacquer may have glued the body to the board
antex do a kit of bits for SMT work , but so far I have have removed up to 18 pin SMT ic's with the standard 1/8" bit ok
the only problem board I had the dot of glue under the ic was too good and bonded to the copper print better than board :(
fixed with some 30 awg KYNAR wire :D
most other makes of boards survive two or three repairs to the same part before you need the kit of replacement lands and via's
but I don't have the funds for the tools or parts for that
if you go to www.repaircontrol.com
you will find some info on these boards and one one page John Gerling considers faulty smt ic's to make a board not repairable
not repairing seig boards as a business I see it as a challenge
John
ps I recommend any one who has not worked on SMT boards to practice on an old computer board or something first
